Rep. Dan Goldman

Honored to join @governor.ny.gov and the Port Authority today at the dedication of a powerful new memorial to the Port Authority employees who lost their lives in the World Trade Center attacks of 1993 and 2001.

I’ve been doing regular oversight at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. When I started, immigrant detainees were denied showers, medicine, and regular phone calls.

Because of persistent Congressional oversight, ICE finally granted immigrants these basic necessities. I’ll keep showing up to make sure they're never taken away again.

Honored to stand with @tonysimone.bsky.social and @thenyic.bsky.social in support of the MELT Act, which prohibits ICE officers from concealing their identities behind masks.

Trump has made it no secret that he will attempt to rig the 2026 midterms. Today, I'm introducing legislation with Rep. Yassamin Ansari to stop him.

It is absolutely outrageous that the Department of Justice is now targeting California Governor Gavin Newsom. But it should come as no surprise that the guy who calls Putin and Erdogan his besties is using their authoritarian playbooks. apnews.com/article/news...

Habeas corpus is one of our nation's most fundamental rights. It protects all of us from gross abuse of power -- including the 40+ immigrants my office has freed from unlawful ICE detention through habeas petitions.

For 14 years, DACA has protected more than 835,000 Dreamers who came here as kids, often do not remember their birth country, and have built their families, careers, and communities in the US.

A $1 million-per-person fundraiser for Trump’s super PAC on Saturday and a UFC match on White House grounds on Sunday? No one is that naive.

. @governor.ny.gov was entirely right to end the 287(g) agreements because our local criminal law enforcement does not exist to serve as an extension of ICE’s lawless civil immigration dragnet. Let’s be clear: New York turns over to ICE immigrants who have completed their criminal sentences.

Ten years have passed since the heartbreaking mass shooting at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, where 49 lives were stolen & 53 were wounded in an act of pure hate & bigotry. Every year that passes is another reminder that we cannot allow weapons of war to tear these gaping holes in our communities.

As Chair of the House Bipartisan Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, I proudly introduced the bipartisan, bicameral Jewish American Security Act alongside Rep. Mike Lawler that will take significant steps to fight antisemitism on schools and campuses, synagogues and non-profits, and online.

By passing this extreme $70B immigration bill, @houserepublicans.bsky.social caved to Trump yet again. In the last year and a half alone, Republicans have unilaterally given Trump’s lawless DHS nearly a quarter TRILLION dollars with no restrictions, guardrails or oversight.

Trump’s temper tantrum when pressed for evidence of his baseless allegations is the classic behavior of a guilty defendant who withers under basic cross-examination. His entire platform is built on conspiracy theories that disintegrate the moment he is challenged to provide proof.

The Administration tried to impose a staggering $100K fee on H-1B visas, essentially taxing the very hospitals & businesses that rely on specialized talent to fill critical shortages & harming our local economies. Once again, a federal court had to remind the Trump admin how our Constitution works.

The American people don’t care whether Tom Homan enjoyed his lunch. What matters is whether people who are lawfully here yet still detained by our government have access to adequate medical care, safe living conditions, and basic human dignity – and they do not at Delaney Hall.

. @icegov.bsky.social thought they could get away with breaking the law in broad daylight today. They were wrong. This morning, I confronted ICE agents outside an immigration court room to remind them that they are prohibited from arresting anyone who appears as required at immigration court. (1/4)

Within minutes, one of my staff members demanded his belongings from ICE while NYLAG prepared an emergency lawsuit and his kids had a snack and played games. Realizing they could not defend the arrest in court, ICE quickly released him to his family. (3/4)

. @houserepublicans.bsky.social just blocked my commonsense amendments to require DHS officials to identify themselves and protect due process. If Republicans are pouring billions more into ICE and CBP over Democrats’ objections, the bare minimum requirement should be basic transparency.

UPDATE: I was honored to erase from our triage clinic’s white board the 42nd detainee released and reunited with his family — a young man I met when I visited Delaney Hall two weeks ago.

As the Trump administration weaponizes immigration courts and expedites cases without regard to due process, our district triage center is holding the line to stand up for the rule of law and human dignity.

While the detention center at 26 Federal Plaza is largely back to operating as a processing facility, across the street at 290 Broadway, mega master hearings are proceeding with over 500 immigration cases on the docket today alone.

It is no secret that our immigration court system has been weaponized by Trump to target our immigrant neighbors. When @housedemocrats.bsky.social retake control, we must pass my bill to create an independent immigration court that is no longer at the mercy of whoever is in the White House.
